Junior League Luncheon Opens 27th Season

Mrs. John Twohy, 2d, of Norfolk And Dr. Albert J. McCartney Are Guests of Honor

By GRETCHEN SMITH. The Junior League of Washington opened its twenty-seventh season

yesterday with an anniversary luncheon at the Shoreham Hotel, at which more than 250 members and guests were present.

Guests of honor were Mrs. John Twohy, 2d, of Norfolk, Va., third regional director of the Association of Junior Leagues of America, and the Rev. Dr. Albert Joseph McCartney, pastor of the Covenant-First Presbyterian Church of Washington. Miss Jones Gives Outline Of Junior League Work. *

Before introducing the speakers, Miss Cecil Lester Jones, president, gave a brief outline of Junior League work during the last year. Out of a membership of 407 persons, 307 actively participated in work of the league, while 215 carried active and sustaining jobs with 33 agencies. Fifty-three community organizations were assisted by the league, Miss Jones stated, reminding members that league work could be effective only with individual assumption of responsibility.

Introduced by Miss Jones, Mrs. Twohy expressed her pleasure _ i. _u -.r A _

which Washington had membership, declaring that the Washington league had proven itself effective, not onlv through its "excellent lead- ership but through the work of each member individually.” Mrs. Twohy wore a dark tailored suit, with a brown velvet toque and a corsage of gardenias, the gift of the Wash- ington league.

Much laughter w'as caused by Dr. McCartney's opening remark that he had informed a member the subject of his address would be “The World Is My Parish,” but that in repeating the information the member stated his address would be “The World Is My Paris.” Dr. McCartney Tells Of World's Need of Aid

Assuming a more serious vein, Dr. McCartney, who shortly before the beginning of hostilities in Europe traveled extensively on the conti- nent and in England and Scotland, spoke of the need of help through- out the world today from groups such as the Junior League.

“Whatever direction we go. there is so much to arouse one’s sympathy and indignation and much that calls on us to be of help,” he said.

With so much work to be done throughout the world, Dr. McCart- ney continued, he hoped that mem- bers of the league would not permit themselves to be taken from welfare work at home to minister to needs in "more glamorous channels.”

Dr. McCartney also urged a great- er attention to the spiritual needs of humanity. "It would be a grand thing,” he said, “if people of your group could more and more feel a share of responsibility in building up the spiritual side of the con- structive forces of yoUr land.”

As members arrived, greetings were exchanged between many who had not met since the opening of the fall season. Tailored suits, fur pieces and feather-trimmed mil- linery were predominant costume features at the luncheon.

Fruit and Autumn Flower* Decorate the Tables.

Baskets of fruits and autumn leaves were used for floral decora- tions on the small tables and the speakers’ table, arranged in the west ballroom.

Those at the speakers’ table in- cluded Miss Jones, Mrs. Twohy, Dr.

Although those in the “social know” claim that the coming winter is bound to be a quiet one socially—with fewer pink teas and such- judging from the great influx of distinguished out-of-towners, we feel certain that it will be one of the most interesting seasons in years!

A recent arrival, and one of the most charming, is Lady Betty Montague, who is here for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss. The Blisses entertained in her honor yesterday at a delightful luncheon, which included members of the young married set. Lady Betty is a sister of Lord Hinchingbrooke, who accompanied Anthony Eden (as private secretary) on his recent trip to America.

Mr. and Mrs. Michael Straight are another interesting couple who have taken an adorable old house in Alexandria for the winter, since Mr. Straight is working with the Government here. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Wood (he is associated with Harry Hopkins) already have made a host of friends in the Capital, although they have only been here since the end of September. They are having a small dinner at their Georgetown
